Riyadh Angel Investors (RAI) is an angel investment group in Riyadh with more than 50 members who are senior executives. It invests in seed-stage startups after the prototype is built.
About Riyadh Angel Investors
The group includes executives and businesspeople from across the Saudi economy, and it focuses on startups in the Middle East and North Africa that use technology to change traditional businesses. Each member invests between $10,000 and $100,000 per deal on average. It led the $1.3 million seed round for Glamera in 2022.
The stated investment size ($10,000 to $100,000) is the average a single member invests, not the round size.
